Help - I can't seem to stop bobbing
Throughout my golfing career i have always known my head raises on the backswing and strangely enough it stays in that position and does not return to its address position on the downswing.

I always had the capacity to top the odd ball, however since working on TMG concepts this seem to have got worse. Since coming accross these forums my good shots are much better but my bad shots seem a lot worse. When i played last weekend i had a nightmare first 8 holes topping four shots. Then i for some reason it seemed to come together on the back nine.

I tried many times before to stop this bobbing on the backswing, however it seems as soon as i stop concentrating on it, it comes straight back again. I came to the conclusion that just concentrating on keeping my head level is not enough, i had to try and find the cause of the pressure forcing my head up.

After experimentation it would appear the the lifting of the arms is causing tension in my shoulders, the tension raises my left shoulder and in turn my head. Frustratingly even though this seems to be the cause, i can't stop it from happening.

Can anyone offer advice?

Cheers,

Danny
